Conjunctions

Conjunctions - Συνδεσμοι

Ότι (that), πως (that, how), που (where), μην (not), μήπως (maybe), όταν (when), μόλις (when), πριν (before), αφού (after), καθώς (meanwhile, as), μέχρι (until), Ώσπου (until), ενώ (while), γιατί (because), επειδή (because), αφού (because), αν (if), άμα (if), εάν (if), αν και (even though), μολονότι (even though) Για να (so that, to), ώστε (so that).
